His public service announcements encouraging Americans to protect our environment touched millions, and made Iron Eyes Cody, the “Crying Indian,” one of the most recognized faces in America.

With his chin held high, Iron Eyes looks straight ahead with courage and pride. His clothing is faithfully reproduced, and the designs on his vest are interwoven throughout the artwork.
Right side of the receiver features a portrait of Iron Eyes in his most famous role, that of the “Crying Indian.” A single tear rolls down his cheek in a silent appeal to help preserve our land.
